excellent questions, marc!

i'm not too sure i know what the
other people here have in mind...

but my intentions with these issues
are to_root_out_the_huge_failure.

the .epubs and .mobis generated
by project gutenberg are flawed.

they often do not work right, and
even when they "do", they're ugly.

so i'll point out some of the flaws,
so you see what i'm talking about.

i'm gonna work with a classic text:
alice's adventures in wonderland...

many e-book aficionados consider
"alice" to be the flagship e-book...

michael hart, for instance, loved it.

so let's take a look at this trophy...

as befitting the legendary status of
this book, its p.g. e-text # is 11...

> http://gutenberg.org/ebooks/11

so let's take a look at the .mobi and
the .epub which p.g. auto-generates,
shall we?

today we'll do the .mobi version...

this is not an exhaustive review
-- i won't point to all the flaws --
but rather just an illustrative one.

so let's get right to it, shall we?
